Caleb Rackliffe updated CASSANDRA-19467: ---------------------------------------- Status: In Progress (was: Changes Suggested) > Deprecate Python 3.7 and earlier, but allow cqlsh to run with Python 3.6+ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-19467 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19467 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Task > Components: Tool/cqlsh > Reporter: Caleb Rackliffe > Assignee: Caleb Rackliffe > Priority: Normal > Fix For: 5.0-rc, 5.1 > > Attachments: ci_summary.html > > > In 4.0, we introduced Python 3.6 support. In CASSANDRA-19245, for the 5.0 > release, we dropped Python 3.6 and 3.7 support since Python 3.8 was the > minimum supported version for version 3.29.0 of the Python driver, which we > needed to support vectors. Unfortunately, that may break existing users of > RHEL 7, which natively only supports Python 3.6. > We should deprecate Python 3.6-3.7 (which are all either EOL or will be soon) > and mention this in NEWS.txt/appropriate warnings at {{cqlsh}} startup, but > we don't need to have cqlsh refuse to start entirely with 3.6-3.7 until our > 6.0 release. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
